The Moon Takes Over

[ELLIE52]

Should be an interesting day for most of the continguous USA with the Solar eclipse.

Yep. Where I am, we're expecting a 92% eclipse. People are scalping the glasses for up to fifty bucks a pair there was such a rush on them.

[ELLIE52]

I think it is 99.4 % here.

[DailyDi]

Awesome!

Just took a look thru my sister's glasses she got for free.

Totality for me where I am in SC.

Not totality here, too far north, but it dimmed very noticeably, and the shadows became quite surreal with crescent shapes everywhere.

Looked like the sun was putting on a diaper

I ended up traveling to an area with totality. A small town called Stayton, rather than more crowded cities. I didn't know it was safe to stare at the eclipse in totality, so I merely took several glances. I also didn't know to look for the shadows. I was in a parking lot next to a Safeway. I kind of wish that I'd stopped in one of the fields in the area. They were recently harvested, so they were flat plains, with several giant towers of hay bales stacked throughout. It would have taken on a more mysterious Stonehenge like quality.

One thing I noticed was that the lens flare produced in my camera showed the eclipse during its various stages. I tried to take a picture during totality, but it was ineffective.

We had totality here, so the fiancee/Mommy and I didn't need to travel. It was definitely a profound experience, and enjoying it from the driveway out front was a plus.
